LEXINGTON, Ky. - Kentucky coach John Calipari wants the UK alumni charity game coming up on Sept. 15 at Rupp Arena to be a huge success so that he can build off of the event and do other things like bring Wildcat legend "Wah Wah" Jones back to a game.

"I'm trying to get Wah Wah Jones back, so that we can recognize him at a game," Calipari said on Tuesday. "To our fans, especially the older fans, he may have been the greatest athlete to ever play here - played three sports and all those things. There's a lot of good stuff we're trying to do from it."

The UK alumni charity game will feature former Kentucky players who now play professionally. It tips off at 2 PM on Sept. 15 at Rupp Arena. Before that game, several members of UK's 1996 national championship team will play an exhibition against participants from Calipari's fantasy camp.
